I don't really know much about Nikon cameras, especially for filming video but.. It seems like the LOG is kinda noisey.. I notice this on several other camera brands also.. I personally got away from LOG a while ago, cuz of the noise...so I actively try to find other flat profiles that still let me shape color and mood later. Once your look / LUT was on there tho, it looked good. Thanks for sharing this bruh, and good luck on your goal. I'm already subscribed !
That’s a great observation! I definitely noticed the noise. Nikon dose have a flat and neutral profile that I use sometimes that has no noise at all. I would love it if NLog was less noisier, I like the color science though! It just seems like NLog is geared towards shooting outside on a sunny day lol.
Comparing the Noise pattern on my old A7R V (traded for Z8) and the FX30, they are "finer" while the Z8 is "larger" in some situations however, I haven't had any issues cleaning things up in Resolve.
@@itscinemasam This is seeming to be like what one would do with Sony cameras in SLog 3, over expose in recording and reduce brightness in post to decrease noise in shadows, then apply noise reduction (mostly night or low light area footage) if required.
I love your stuff man. Keep going! Im new to this and I find it all very inspiring
@@StevenBoz thank you! I really needed that encouragement 🙏🏾🙏🏾
@@itscinemasam love to see your process for colour grading one day. I know a lot of those exist on the web, but you have a wonderful way of presenting
Beautiful work mate! 👊👊
Thanks 👍
@@itscinemasam could you share color grading process
Nice footage! I pulled the trigger and picked up the Z6III.😅 What iso were these scenes captured with?
🔥🔥🔥🔥 and I shot these with ISO 800.
Also, I didn’t use any dennoise on the footage.

@@TopshelfJunior Forgot to mention that Sony cameras have noise reduction in camera that the menu setting cannot affect, which Nikon’s do not.
@waynerm002 true the Nikon 📸 has it built into the 10 bit 420 and 8bit 420 codecs
@@itscinemasam Yep, in SDR and HLG modes, not NLog.
Nice, you don't seem to have the flickering issue in the shadows shooting Log. I unfortunately do.
I noticed it helps to over expose a little bit, the Z6iii is more forgiving in the highlights
@@itscinemasam True, but in darker environments that it's always possible. You managed to pull it of well.

I think the point is not to pull the shadows up to too far. Here the shadows are where they belong.
DaVinci also removes the flickering
